Overview

This is the MetaClass for all Subject objects, both handled and test. It holds constants, methods, and attributes that are common to all subjects in Chook

A ‘subject’ within Chook is the ruby-abstraction of a the ‘event_object’ part of the JSON payload of an event.

All events contain a #subject attribute, which represent the thing upon which the event acted, e.g. a computer, mobile divice, or the JSS itself. Those attributes are objects which are subclasses of Chook::Subject, q.v.

Class Method Details

.classes ⇒ Object

Define a ‘classes’ class method (actually a class-instance attribute) that defines all of the possible Subject subclasses so they can be dynamically created.

The definitions will be added as the subject-files are loaded.

This method returns a Hash with one item per subject-type.

The key is the subject name [String] as known to the JSS and is defined in a Constant in Chook::Subject, e.g. Chook::Subject::COMPUTER = ‘Computer’. That name is also used for the class names of the subject classes in the HandledSubjects and TestSubjects modules.

The values are also hashes, with one item per attribute for that subject-type. The keys are the attribute names as Symbols, and the values are hashes defining the attribute. Attributes may have these keys:

:converter => a Proc or a method-name (as a Symbol) to convert the raw
  value to its interally stored version. E.g. Time objects in JSON
  are left as Strings by the JSON.parse method. A converter can be
  used to make it a Time object.
:validation => Class or Proc. When creating a TestSubject, this
  attribute is settable, and new values are validated. If a Class, then
  the new value must be an instance of the class. If a Proc, the value
  is passed to the proc, which must return True.
:randomizer => Symbol. When creating a TestSubject,
  this is the class-method to call on Chook::TestSubject
  to generate a valid random value for this attribute.
:sampler => Symbol: When creating a TestSubject, this is the
  Chook::TestSubject class method which will pull a random value from
  a real JSS.
:api_object_attribute => Symbol or Array of Symbols or a Proc:
   When creating a TestSubject, this represents the location of values in an API object
   Symbol: A method name to call on an API object
   Array: Array[0] is a method name to call on an API object
     subsequent items are Hash keys to be called on Array[0]'s output
   Proc: Pass an API object to the PROC to get a value
